Sean Miller, Texas21%
Ryan Odom, Virginia9%
Buzz Williams, Maryland7%
Niko Medved, Minnesota5%

  • Medved: "How can anyone discount what Niko Medved has done at each stop in his career? He inherited a disaster at Furman and in three years he won. Drake, he won. And what he did at CSU is beyond impressive."

No votes for DeVries?
 

No votes for Richard Pituno at Xavier is probably as it should be. Unable to get either of his best players to follow him...they absolutely got paid more money than Xavier could offer.
His team may have been a darkhorse but their best transfer recruit is out for the year..
So, tall task to compete in the Big East with UConn and St Johns in most everybody's Top 10 nationally and Marquette and Creighton as legit.
 

I personally think McCollum is gonna be a disappointment. He cant keep moving up in competition with D2 players and continue to win. But if he does, those players are gonna graduate soon. I personally think its a perfect combo of coach and players currently.

Change of style of play from Fran will be shocking for Hawkeye fans.
